EVENT DESCRIPTION
Join the search for hidden runes in and around Waters End. The ancient rune language known as Eldar Futhark has been used by witches and wizards for hundreds of years. Each rune is a letter in an alphabet that can be used to spell words. But every rune also has a special meaning when used alone.
Get ready for the Rune Hunting Event.
Take the first rune course: Ancient Runes 101. Learn what runes look like. Learn how to match runes to letters in the Roman alphabet. Learn how to read and write a message with runes.
